Come try out the exciting sport of floorball. (see full desc. of floorball below, it's not what you think)

Game status is dependent on the "6by6" rule. We need 6 players signed up by 6pm the night of the event. If not, I will cancel the event. Please be courteous and make sure your RSVP status is correct by 6pm the night of the event.

Depending on the amount of players, we will play either 5 on 5, 4 on 4 and with our without goalies in an enclosed full size basketball court.

Cost: $10 per player (goalies play for free), or free with a YMCA Membership Pay Zack (except YMCA members). First timers must sign waiver.

Just come with non-marking tennis/court/running shoes (no black soles), all other equipment will be provided (sticks, nets, goals, balls, pennies etc.). If you would like to try out goalie, we have all gear except for groin protection.

Floorball is a modern version of traditional hockey that most people are familiar with. Floorball is a safer and more affordable option that allows people of all ages, genders and abilities to grasp the fundamentals of traditional hockey in a fun atmosphere. For those that are either interested in playing traditional hockey or already do, the skills learned in floorball translate perfectly.

Floorball is similar to floor hockey but has a strong focus on positioning and passing (and speed at higher levels). Floorball is easy and safe to play and uses a light weight plastic/composite stick and a hollow plastic ball (similar to a wiffle ball) that moves fast on the hardwood floor. Since the physical level of play is close to soccer or basketball (no checking), no special equipment is needed for field players (just like any sport, eye protection is recommended).

Floorball is a safe, fast and modern alternative to ice/roller/field hockey. While already popular in Europe, Floorball is growing fast in North America. Great exercise and no equipment needed. Extra sticks are available for loan to first timers, any tennis shoe is appropriate and all you need to bring is one black and one white shirt for splitting up teams.

Arizona Floorball is dedicated to growing the sport of Floorball in Arizona. We plan to host weekly pick-up games, including new player intro sessions and skill development drills. The club will also field tournament teams to participate in local/national events. Please join us, and share in our passion!
